So my g/f ended up getting her account suspended for 3 days.
She calls them and asks why it was suspended, they tell her because she listed a decorative ostrich egg and that "ostriches are endangered so not permitted to sell any ostrich items."
She tried to point out to them that:
The egg (shell only) originated from an ostrich farm (we believe).
Ostriches are not endangered. They are listed as "least concern" in regards to conservation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_ostrich
There are currently 150 similar items (mostly eggs) https://imgur.com/a/hUewcgg on eBay.
There are over 177,000 various ostrich derived items on ebay
She asked why her egg wasn't allowed but all of this stuff were, and the rep said :
"Those auctions haven't been reported/removed yet"
Many of these have been up a while.
So has someone at ebay lost their mind?
Other than the call reps, who all seem to say the same thing, is there anything else that she should be trying to get the account reactivated?
